What people say about this course
Excellent practical ideas that can be implemented immediately.
Highly motivational. Heaps of ideas to take back and try at school.
A very useful and wide-ranging course. I’ve certainly learnt a great deal about the different challenges faced by libraries and schools, and have gleaned some very useful ideas to take to my Chatterbooks reading group.
There was a lot of time given to group sharing which was great.
It was all most useful. The chance to share ideas with librarians, TAs, teachers, at both primary and secondary was invaluable.
The course has given me confidence and inspiration.
